There is an app, personally I used AOKP toggles on the Nexus 7 (im sure it will come to 4 soon) or in systemUI theres an XML you can edit (no clue which...) and set navigation bar height to something lower like 40 odd. 96 was stock on GNEX and 48 was stock on Nexus 7. Idk what's going to be stock on this device so make sure its not unsuitable

This is what i want to do, but for the entire system, maybe by long pressing the power button
Read this:
n Android 4.0, the APIs updated with new flags of SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION, that requests the navigation bar hide completely. Be aware that this works only for the navigation bar used by some handsets (it does not hide the system bar on tablets). The navigation bar returns to view as soon as the system receives user input.
You can also use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE flag, to enables “low profile" mode for the system bar or navigation bar. Navigation buttons dim and other elements in the system bar also hide. Enabling this is useful for creating more immersive games without distraction for the system navigation buttons, and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE flag to request the system bar or navigation bar be visible.
There's a AOKP ROM for the Nexus 4 which has
Nav Bar Transparency
Nav Bar Button Reorder: Back-Home-Search-Menu
Nav Bar Color Picker
Nav Bar Button Glow Duration: Off, Fast, Slow
Nav Bar: Long press to Search button
Nav Bar Hide on Lockscreen
So if you use that ROM with an app like HideBar it should meet all of your needs.

Persistent widgets on every screen

Is there a way to make some widgets display on every home screen? Like the search bar? I don't want my clock widget to scroll with the other widgets and apps. I want it to stay in place like the search bar.
Thanks in advance!
Use lightning launcher and you can pin anything down so it stays on screen.

Clock displayed in notification bar on lockscreen

Was messing around with nova launcher today and changed the setting of whether the clock should be shown and where. I selected hide didn't like it and changed it back to stock. But is this correct in the lock screen? Clock hides in the notification bar.

It should not hide.
Its hides for me. Running PA 3.68 and Apex launcher.
I think it is supposed to hide as the time is shown in the lockscreen clock widget, and having the time show up in 2 places is redundant.

Kit Kat 4.4 transparent nav bar

I have issues on nexus 5 port rom for our device with the transparency of the navigation bar.
Although when it boots I have the correct transparency on lock screen and launcher after opening some apps it goes all black.
On other roms I found it always black.
Anyone knows why is this happening and how to fix?
I really like 4.4 update and I am also a perfectionist

Well you dint understand the problem.
When I open an app or two and return to launcher or lock the screen the navigation bar stays black.
Hit the home button again and try....
I'm getting issues too, i'm using the launcher on Samsung Galaxy Nexus Maguro, and i didn't get transparent navbar and statusbar. So, i installed the gravity box to set it's transparency, but, in the navbar, i only get half of the bar transparent, and half black. What do i have to do to get it fully transparent? I really enjoy the new launcher :x

You don't get it fully transparent. It's supposed to be only half transparent.

Half transparent is fine they designed it this way. But it seems with the early builds we have little bugs like this.

modify the systemUI.apk if you want full transparent navibar or use a custom rom

[Q]hide status bar without launcher

Hi
like the title says, i'm looking how to hide the status bar and be able to swipe it down like every launcher do but i want to keep the lg launcher
(i tried some launcher and i loose the ability to double tap the screen)
so if you have any idea, i'm open
(if you know a launcher able to keep the double tap to screen on/off, i can switch to it)
thank you guys
Usually with another launcher you can double tap the status bar to turn off. Maybe you can make a gesture on Nova prime launcher to shut screen off with status bar hidden.
